Hey yall. Happy pride. I wish I could share it with someone. Im busy fighting for my own queer life!!! Please dont forget about me.

Im a black trans woman writer panicking because Im behind all my bills and I need to raise almost 1000 dollars to clear my expenses in about 20 days. Its hard to talk about debt Ive been putting myself in (75) and how behind I am on electric. (Still 200)

Im out of food stamps and am up for reassessment for my lease. Im so busy and I cant do this alone. Please help me stay fed and housed and stable.

I'm so scared. Please please help!!!

100/1000

yes, everyone is CAPABLE of growth and change. everyone has the RIGHT to growth and change. but no, not everyone will CHOOSE growth and change. some people are not interested in and cannot be made interested in self-improvement or self-reflection. some people will go their entire lives refusing to admit they might be wrong or examine their own behaviors. some people will never, ever accept responsibility for the effects they have on people and the world around them. humans are varied; some are just always gonna be like this.

it is VITAL to understand this if you’re the kind of person who tends to pour energy into helping others, especially if there are already people knowingly hurting you who consistently show absolutely no interest in changing that behavior. you can’t forcibly make them want to change who they are. you aren’t going to find a way to convince them to suddenly care that their behavior is hurting someone.

the motivation to change and grow comes from within. others may inspire us, but WE have to decide we want to be better and work towards that. until they decide that for themselves, nobody else can do it for them. and they might never. people are mortal. we are a finite series of choices. it is entirely possible to make mostly selfish ones.

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.
